To break a century old curse, that plagues her family as well as the Leighton family, Lady Kathleen MacDavid has to cast every society rule to the wind and seduce and marry Oliver Leighton, the Earl of Norcroft. But how should she do that, especially because he is a stranger. Together with her sister she comes up with the idea to pretend that she has lost her memory, but her sister casts a spell and the pretending becomes reality. How will Oliver react when he finds out the truth, especially because he is falling for the mysterious lady.

As always Ms. Alexander gifts her readers with an enjoyable historical romance, this time even with a light touch of paranormal due to the magic that Kathleen’s sister Hannah uses to help Kathleen in her quest to win Oliver’s heart. The funny and sensual characters make the book so enjoyable. She really has a way to draw her reader into the story and you have the feeling you are becoming a part of it.

There are quite a few interesting secondary characters, like Oliver’s cousin, who might be good material for upcoming books.

SEDUCTION OF A PROPER GENTLEMAN is the last instalment of the Last Man Standing series, but like all of the previous books you can also read this one as a stand-alone.

If you are looking for a light romantic book to spend a cold winter evening with SEDUCTION OF A PROPER GENTLEMAN is the perfect choice for you. You can’t do anything wrong with a book by Ms. Alexander.
